Question: Humans in the Dinosaur Age?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

I recently took my daughter to the Museum of Natural History and we saw a dinosaur exhibit.  According to the exhibit, in the dinosaur age man was not present on earth as per the fossil records.

Did dinosaurs have the same atma as we do today? Was earth one of the 'other' planets at the time? Did the humans exist on some other planet? 

Please help me explain this to my daughter.

Answer: Be a Real Scientist, not a Dogmatist

You can tell your daughter that the people who run the museum are ignorant of the fact that human beings have been around from the very beginning of the universe, existing concurrently with all the different species of living beings. The fossil records repeatedly substantiate that human beings were present during the so-called dinosaur age. But because the scientists are blindly and fanatically putting their faith in Darwin's patently fallacious theory of evolution, they ignore the profusion of clear evidence from the fossil records. Anyone who clings blindly to a theory which is not supported by the evidence is not a true scientist. Rather he is a dogmatist. We train our students to be real scientists, not dogmatists.

Krishna confirms in the Bhagavad-gita that the atma is the same within every species. This is reconfirmed by the fact that each of us has transmigrated through all the species before coming the human form. From the Vedic scriptures we learn that there are human beings on innumerable planets throughout the universe of which the earth is one.
